What To Do On A Sudbury Saturday Night.

I feel really bad, honest I do, for all those folks in Canadaland (i.e. that place where all of you who read/listen to Jesse Brown way more than we Lotuslandians do) who are suffering through the late winter extremism that has become our climate.

Especially given that we out here on the far left coast have been given the flip-side, which has essentially been no winter and cherry blossoms that came even earlier than usual (i.e. mid-February).

Heckfire, it's gotten to the point where I'm no longer wearing gloves while riding.

In February.

Anyway...

If you are looking for a recently released movie or two to download or, god forbid, rent, this evening, Robert Hilburn the music writer guy has a solid, tiered list from 2013 and 2014 up at his website. 

I especially like the short explanations that follow the picks.

Like, say, this one from the 'Very Good' tier of 2014:

Snowpiercer--Clever, often surprising, always fast-paced account of social class in a sci-fi movie that is as concerned with commentary as spectacle.


Snowpiercer is a movie that I somehow missed entirely.

But given the point back from Mr. Hilburn to the usual suspects I will definitely put it on one of the 23 scribbled-in-pencil-on-scraps-of-paper-hidden-everywhere rental lists somewhere.

OK?

BTW, I won the annual Oscar pool thingy at our house this year, going away...Of course, the kids got mad at me (in a nice way) for doing so by reading so much about the movies concerned rather than actually watching them...
